How are capital losses from mutual fund investments treated for tax purposes?
0% of students got this wrong
EXPLANATION
Under Indian tax law: STCL (short-term capital loss) can be set off against both STCG and LTCG from any capital asset in the same year. LTCL (long-term capital loss) can only be set off against LTCG in the same year. Unabsorbed losses can be carried forward for 8 assessment years (only against capital gains, not other income). This applies to mutual fund losses too.
